Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

Drinking first cup of coffee. 54° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 90° with sunny skies. Yesterday plans went down the tube. Except for enjoying the nice weather. Decided to repair a small leak in front hydraulic manifold for grapple attachment. It's fixed. But it took 3 hours to get it off, repaired and back on tractor. No more tractor leaks. Forgot wife has a doctor appointment today. Then PT for me. Maybe scrap yard visit will happen tomorrow. The 2 Weeping Mulberry trees at back of house need pruning. Good morning to get that done.

Roy, them auditors always find something wrong. They feel they are not doing their job if they don't. Good luck with the audit.

Eric, first come first served. Need get out there earlier.

Mostly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!

Don, lately I have been using EBAY, Craigslist, and Facebook to sell items that I no longer need. EBAY worked best. But is expensive. The other 2 worked well for local sales. Just follow the things to watch from spammers.

Good Morning All.

Billy, I will find the link for the landscape cloth I finally used, after all that work in this big garden putting down terrible quality cloth from Lowes.
I found stuff online, commercial grade with lines for rows, that is simply awesome. Now the trick is to find it for less money.
But there really is the "right stuff" out there.
I have rows of cloth almost a foot off the ground from the grass growing underneath. The cheap stuff won't hold up to walking on it either, much
less pulling a rototiller over it. The good stuff does. Will find the link tonight, need to order another roll myself.

I think the cheap stuff is only meant for under the gardens where you put mulch. Never meant as a walk on fabric.
All those wasted staples.

Happy Birthday Mostly. May lots of wonderful things happen today for you.

Mostly, Happy B-Day.

Late start for me, 50's this AM. Cool. Mid-80's today, not much planned today. Probably yard maintenance and what not. Piddly crap like sticks and branches and a few chops on some bushes that are in the way. LOL. Got 2/3's of the roof up on the run-in. Ran out of energy doing the over the shoulders work, especially staring into the sun all day.

Have a great day all, be safe.

We have some nice light shade this morning. Unfortunately it will soon all be gone as the only white stuff in the sky is a criss cross of vapour trails from an unusually busy Monday morning exodus of planes.


I found a great spot to spend an hour or two on the bank of the larger pond. There are no fish in there, but it does have the benefit of having a few trees where I could hide from the mid day sun. There is one alder in particular that offers deep shade, only problem is -

Roy, hope only the odd minor non-conformance comes your way. You're a pro, luck is only allowed if it's been fully documented in your quality manual

Looking at pic on my phone, thought those were rocks, till i saw other comments, went back and zoomed in on it.

Good morning! 70s to 90s chance of rain.

Happy birthday Mostly.

David how many acres have been added to the island?

Did moms grocery shopping and delivery yesterday. Since the move, it takes an extra 2 hours but that time was recouped when it only took 30 minutes (with both of us working) to mow/edge/blow the yard. In fact the so much lawn time was save a nap was also included.

We have several landscaped rock beds in the yard with fabric cloth under the rocks, there are still weeds especially at the seams the edges and each place the fabric was cut to plant landscape plants and each place where any amount of dirt was left on top of the fabric.

Got a bumper crop of weeds under my landscape fabric. Canalope vines keep sliding off.
I have rebar pinned on the side, has't pulled it yet.

It looks like a nice protected greenhouse for the weeds. Maybe you need black plastic to block out the sunlight.

It's a nice morning, the low was 54* and overcast and no wind. We did get some rain yesterday afternoon it started about 4 o'clock and ended about 7. But we only got about a half of inch. And the temperature dropped down into the low 60's. Today is going to overcast this morning with a 30% chance of showers and clearing skies this afternoon with a high in the mid 80's.

Work on the welding project yesterday and got that part of it done. But I need to practice my welding more, but I think it will work. Not sure what project I'll work on today.

mostly ... Happy birthday, glad you had a good day.

Hope everyone has nice start to the week.
CWB.

Good Morning!!!! 67F @ 6:30AM. Sunny. High 94F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.

Looks like we’ll hit the high 90s early every day for the next ten, but will manage to cool down to the high 60s overnight. Those are still above average temps, but it could be a lot worse.

Happy Birthday, Mostly! Many happy returns!

Got both tanks coated yesterday, and instead of putting water in the left over liquid and letting it harden, I re-capped it. I found another small can of it that I re-capped after using it last year, so I opened it up, stirred it, and re-capped it again. I’ll see how well it set up later this morning when I look at the stir stick. This coating supposedly hardens with exposure to moisture, and with the humidity level down in the teens yesterday, I don’t think it got much. In fact, I left both tanks out on the back porch over night in hopes they’ll be dry enough to reinstall today. The instructions call for a 96 hour cure before filling with fuel...

Hope everyone’s week gets off to a great start!
